An Econometric Estimation of Feedback Effects of Trade Relationship between Oman and Other Members of the Gulf Cooperation Council

Abdusalam Faraj Yahia

Abstract—This paper attempts to extend the recent literature by empirically examining if there are any feedback effects of the trade relationship between Oman and its trading partners from GCC members. A simultaneous-equations model with double log form has been developed and used and the main finding can be illustrated as follow: there is no evidence of partial feedback effect in Oman trade with all GCC Countries accepts Bahrain. the short-range of Omani elasticity of imports from GCC with respect to its GDP appears to be higher (ranged from .75 to 1.8). Finally, the gap between the desired level of spending on Omani imports from GCC members and the actual level of spending for all cases will be closed in one period and the number of periods of adjustment is ranged between one and two years.

Index Terms—Feedback effects, GCC, simultaneous equations model, sultanate of Oman, trade relationship.
